Hello world,
I am Benjamin Mezger (or Ben), a software engineer based in Amsterdam with a Master's degree in Computer Science. I design software systems that meet business requirements and are robust and maintainable in the long term.
My technical interests span across resilient system design, microservice architecture, distributed systems, observability, system tooling, programming languages and UNIX.
I've lived in different countries with different material conditions and cultures, which has broadened my perspective and helped me adapt quickly to different environments.
Occasionally, I write technical and non-technical notes at /notes. There, I share some of my thoughts about the real world as I see.
Most of my professional work happens on GitHub Enterprise (separate account), so this profile mainly reflects my personal projects and contributions.
